Idina Shawl

Finished Measurements: This exquisite shawl features a generous wingspan of 72 inches (183 cm) and stands at a stylish height of 18.5 inches (47 cm) at the center spine. These measurements are taken after careful blocking to ensure the best shape and drape.

Yarn Requirements: For this stunning shawl, you will need approximately 800 yards (732 meters) of fingering weight yarn. For the sample piece, I utilized 2 skeins of Baah Yarn Manhattan, which comprises 30% Cashmere and 70% Merino, with 400 yards (366 meters) per 100 grams. The colorway I chose is "Frozen," perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your knitting project.

Recommended Needles: You will need size US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needles that are at least 32 inches (80 cm) long, or you may opt for a size that allows you to achieve the desired gauge. While gauge is not critically important for this specific project, varying your gauge can influence the final size and overall yardage required.

Additional Tools: To make your knitting experience smoother, consider having the following tools on hand: optional stitch markers, a crochet hook, waste yarn for a provisional cast-on, a cable needle for any necessary techniques, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.

Gauge Information: The gauge for this project is 20 stitches and 32 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) when using size US 4 (3.5 mm) needles in Stockinette stitch, after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge will help ensure the best fit and drape for your shawl.

Knitting Notes: Please remember that this beautiful shawl is knitted from the top edge down, providing a graceful flow and transition as you work through the pattern. Enjoy the process of creating this lovely accessory that will not only enhance your wardrobe but also demonstrate your knitting skills.
